01x07 - Best Of Me

[bunniefuu]

My moves? Well...

When I'm busting a move,

I think that I look cool like J-HOPE

But when I monitor the sh*t,

I see JIN trying hard to dance

Watching myself on the monitor

helps me see where I need work

I also ask the guys for some pointers

and think of ways to make it better

The more I perform on stage,
the better I'll be

I honestly want to give it my best

Ten thousand is just a number,

but when that number
refers to how many people,

that's quite a lot to take in

What should I say... I'm really glad

Even if I'm feeling,
I want to put my best foot forward

I feel like that's how it should be

Welcome to 2017 BTS
LIVE TRILOGY: EPISODE III

We're now in Osaka!

Bear in mind that this is a concert

We had this talk 9, 10 times in Japan

Yeah, in Japan

The biggest reason is this

To draw the audience in,

before we start performing in Japan,

we always smile a lot and be playful

That's how we do it differently here

We came often to meet fans
and perform in Japan,

but people here tend to
just listen more

That's how I remember it

The crowd likes to keep calm and listen

But that doesn't mean
they're not having a blast

That's their way of having a good time

Just being different

So getting our fans in Japan
to jump up and down

and dance to our songs
is entirely up to us

Saitama

For over 20,000 audiences,
we'll give three concerts

The concerts in Japan are amazing

You can see the audience
get bigger with each concert

At first, it was for 500 people,
then for 2,000 in the stands,

then we had 6,000 audiences,
and even 12,000 at times

I can really see us move up
one step at a time,

whenever we do a tour in Japan

Why is that camera following me around?

This is J-HOPE's documentary

My documentary?

Tell me what J-HOPE is usually like

J-HOPE is a bit of a closed book,

so I honestly don't know

I can't really say that

we had a lot of deep conversations

But J-HOPE is like water
Yeah, water

Just by having him around,

or when he gets on stage

and you see him rehearse his moves,

what with the kind of
performance he puts on

and how he carries himself around us

J-HOPE really puts people at ease

We'll really need to focus

- What with many changes
- There's a lot of that today

You should do a bigger turn back

- Bangtan, Bangtan
- Bang Bangtan

It's my first time staging this song

Taking the stage on my own
apart from the seven of us

is quite a bit of pressure

When I got the setlist,
I made sure to get prepared

One thing's for sure
When I staged for MAMA,

I got worried sick

My throat was running dry,
despite all the water I drank

and I was too busy putting on a stage

Now I try to connect with the audience

and find that easier to do now

There's still pressure to give energy

to everyone in the stands

And I have to lead the show
with so many people there

Despite such pressure,
wanting to perform well

make me determined and fearless

Then I get to thinking
that I can look forward to

things working out

And that's how I'm able to grow

That still gives me the chills
I never had a song cut short before

Having your music cut off
is the worst that can happen

I think I panicked more than

the people in the stands

Osaka fans were quick to lead the way

singing along to my song

So I took their b*at

to sing through

Thank you

Though it's a little embarrassing,

I love the thrill of singing on stage

When I grab my mic and shout,

I get shivers down my spine

The thought of worldwide
fans cheering me on

makes me proud that I'm a singer

I can't say we got better
or worse physically,

but we definitely learned
from every concert

It's just that I can't really tell

what that is at the moment

But how we put our mind to it

is pretty much the same
since when we started out

When we're at a concert with fans,

we don't let things distract us

but just focus on how
we can give our everything

to performing on stage

We started out with a concert
for 2,000 people,

and now we get on stage for
20,000 in the stands

By all means, that's big change
and things are different

Everything is bound to change
like how we see things

When we're asked how it feels
to hold our dream concert,

I admit that I love it,
but it's not that same thrill

that we had from the start
The time for that is past

Then do we appreciate it less?

Not in the least
We love having the concerts

Do we get nervous about it? No

We don't take all of this for granted,

but we have other goals
to work towards now

I used to be afraid of big crowds

Ever since I was a trainee,
I had that sort of fear

When I'm out doing casual stuff,

I still feel anxious about crowds

It's been four years since our debut

In our first year, we wondered
if we'd ever make it big

"Why aren't we a smash hit
despite all the work?"

Then in second year, we asked,
"Why aren't we topping the charts?"

"I mean, we're working so hard"

It was a hard time for us,
trying to reach so high

When what you expect doesn't happen,

that can be the hardest thing

Expectations that amount to nothing

That's the hardest to bear

Before, we had very specific goals

We wanted to top the charts,
win a music award,

sell tons of our albums
and top the streaming charts

But it's only been four years

We used to say it's already been
two or three years

But now, we we say only four years

There's no telling how long
we'll be singing on stage,

but I'm sure we'll be
doing music and on stage

for longer than we had so far

I still find it a little frightening

About what we can do,
and if we have what it takes

I think we have a long way to go

We just have to keep going

Nice

Got it

Got it, it's working

Since making it as BTS,

I made my first foray into acting

To show another side of me,

I really pushed myself to practice

He's the guy on BTS?
Great acting

He's that BTS guy?!
That's terrible acting

It was one or the other

That put on a lot of pressure,
and I needed to do well

At first, I was pumped,
saying that I can do this,

how they can count on me

But I forgot my lines,
shaking from all the nerves

I didn't know what to do
As for my a country dialect,

I had trouble figuring out
how to use the Seoul dialect

to bring out my character
in the historical drama

I tanked two intense scenes
that really mattered

I could see myself get yelled at

That was still in my head
when I took the stage,

so my face was just blank
or I managed to smile some

And being bummed out,
I wanted to keep to the hotel

The guys asked me
if I was in a bad mood,

telling me that I looked glum

To be honest,

I wasn't too keen on
letting my stress show

So I didn't tell anyone

Then for the first time,
when I was alone with JIMIN,

I let it all out, crying my eyes out

How I was having trouble
staying in focus

JIMIN was really worried for me

One time, we had group talk

They all said the same thing

"We can't fix this for you"

"But we're here to give support"

That meant all the world to me

That's when I realized this

Unless you open up
and share your feelings,

no one can understand
what you're going through

So I told myself not to
hold back like I used to

and struggle to keep
my troubles to myself

I had my guys there to listen

That's when it all hit me

I bought a new camera

I won't be using my phone
to take pictures now

I'll get really good sh*ts
and share them with you,

so look forward to it

- Nice work
- You, too

Hi

Let's be friends

Friends? Okay

Hello

Can you blow me a kiss?

We're giving 13 concerts
all across Japan

and all our tickets are sold out

That's really incredible
and we should be thankful

Thank you

We won't take this for granted
but be truly grateful

and work hard to offer
even more amazing concerts

Thank you

Thanks so much

Give them a big hand

We'll be coming back,
so look forward to having us

Let's take our picture

You'll be taking a short break

What do you want to do most?
Is there anything like that?

I want to go fishing with my dad

I want to travel and take photos

I'd take along any of our guys

I could just take JIN

- Like a kidnapping
- I'll go if you pay me

Really?

I'm moved

I'd love that

We spend too much time together

Let's have some alone time

This is fun

I ordered a bunch of stuff online

So I want to open up those parcels

Don't know what I'd do in Korea,
but I want drinks tonight

That would help me wind down

JIMIN!

Where's JIMIN? Huh?

Cheers!

I collected figurines for over a year
since I got a new studio

I need to finish up displaying them

so I want to hurry home for that

I'd like to take some time off
at my parent's house

I could play with the dog
and enjoy home-cooked meals

I was going to bike across the country

I wanted someone to join

Would your groin be okay?

I bought saddle pads

Doing that would be relaxing

It'd be nice to have
that kind of peace of mind

My body and mind is aching for

that kind of good cheer

Great job, guys

We're about 80 percent through

Enjoy your meal

Great job, everyone

The third one, get in position
Our third dance

g*n, aim, and sh**t

Off to the dome, let's go

We came to practice one song?

Yeah, now off to Kyocera Dome

You guys, we work this hard

Just to brush up our opening song

I wonder how big it is

I wonder how big the dome is
Can't wait to see it

We're at the dome

It's my first time here
Gocheok Dome is actually...

It's a semi-dome with
30,000 to 40,000 seats

So this is my first time
at a full-sized dome

Wow, this place is huge

Can't we set up seven stages here

and hold each of our concerts?

That could work

A dome concert is such
a dream if you're a singer

I want to be at one
and hold a concert there

I'm sure I'd be great on stage

That's what I used to think

So this dome setting was
an absolute dream for me

During meetings,
we talked about the dome

And we talked about it
among ourselves

Something of a goal...

Anyways, that's what it was

What we said we'd do,
the ambitions we all shared

are coming true one at a time
I find that really amazing

At this time, everything that
we dreamed of is coming true

Now we're thinking of
what we can work towards

to receive such big love

That's on our mind
and it's quite a pressure

If the PA is okay with it,
we can try it out a few times

This is the biggest space
we ever had for our concert,

but we had the least chance
to monitor our work

The problem is, there's too much
energy for some songs

For "LOST" there's too much echo

Asking for this and that now

won't be solving any problems

But if it goes like this at the concert,

we'd be facing big trouble

Whether we can overpower
the audience from this big stage...

Having that kind of energy
would really matter

But I don't think we're feeling ready

It baffles me every time

I don't get why all those people

give us so much love and support

I also wonder how far we can go

But there's this thing

I don't know why we get
such big love and support,

but we feel a greater
sense of responsibility

So with our own music
that truly belongs to BTS,

we want to put on a great
performance every time

We feel obliged like that

My hand prints weird

Press down hard

This is hard, so when you press down,

make sure your hand sinks in

I'll write J-HOPE

Wow, my hand is really small

Here, let me do it for you
That's not how

My hand print looks weird

What do you think is an ideal artist?

Would you like to become
such an artist?

I think an ideal artist...

The artists I knew in name
sent me tweets,

gave me their number,
and even asked to work together

I thought everything was so unreal

Compared to where I am now,
I still feel like I need work

On the other hand, I starting to worry

We're a funny group of guys,
I mean no one's perfect

We all have our faults

But I think that was to our advantage

The fact no one topped the rest

We talked our way out of fights

and things like that went well

I think that's why we're here
They show through

This came to mind
We can be happy for each other

If we weren't genuine,
pretending to act such a way,

we wouldn't be as appreciated

We always say this,

to our ARMY fans every time

There's just this one thing

That we'll be back with
an even better performance

Getting through one step at a time

We're more aware of that now

The scary thing about BTS is,

there is no limit to what we can do

I believe we have a long way to go

To be honest,
I can't see where we end

Whatever problem or issue we face,

we'll keep overcoming them
That's how I feel about us

In South America, J-HOPE is...

I'm J~

I'm J~

I didn't think it'd ever end

I was like, I'm finally home
That's what I thought

In various aspects, us guys

became more mature
and in a way, more awesome

Let's get through our last concert!

Let's do this

- Bangtan!
- Bangtan!

What we see from on stage

is something we won't ever forget
